Can't cancel transition.dissolve

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

I tried to use transition.cancel() to kill a transition.dissolve but I get an error:

[lua]xxx=transition.dissolve(text[i].activeText,text[i],trans2,delay2)
transition.cancel(xxx)[/lua]

and I get this error message on the terminal window:
[text]

Runtime error
?:0: attempt to index a nil value
stack traceback:

…/iPhone Dev/Corona/xxx/RSSound/main.lua:171: in function ‘_listener’
?: in function <?:413>
?: in function <?:186>
[/text]

It works fine when I use it with transition.to

Seems like an oversight?

The problem is the transition.dissolve is returning nil instead of a handle to the transition. I will file this as a bug.

In talking to Walter about this he said that the API won’t be updated and to use two transition.to calls if you need better control of the dissolve. One call to fade out and another to fade in.
